20 | Cycling the TOUGH West of North Macedonia | NORTH MACEDONIA series: Ep.2 | JFtR

I questioned my mental stability when editing this video. I promess I’m a normal person 😅.
Physical ups and downs were the norm. I arrived exhausted at my first destination. Was it worth it cycling in the West?

In September, I cycled North Macedonia from Skopje toward the West and then the Southeast.
Cycling for two weeks, 470 km, 5.000m+ elevation (yes, it was physically tough!)
This is the 2nd video of 5 of my North Macedonia Series.

Ep.1: Things I Learned in Skopje
Ep.2: Cycling the Tough West of North Macedonia
Ep.3: Exploring Ohrid, a peculiar place
Ep.4: I Kept Cycling to the East, was it the Right Choice?
Ep.5: Making Homemade Ajvar with a Local Family

Stay tuned.
